BLANK FOR PASTEBOARD BOXES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 407,493, dated July 23,1889.

Application filed A ril 10, 1889. Serial No. 306,677. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THEODOR REMUS, a subject of the Emperor of Russia,residing in the city of Dresden, Saxony, Germany, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Blanks for Pasteboard Boxes, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide blanks for making pasteboardboxes, which blanks are to be provided with edge and angle bindings, sothat a complete and finished box can be made from said blanks withoutrequiring any subsequent pasting on or applying of binding-strips.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is aface View of the outersurface of my improved blank before the bindin =strips are applied. Fig.2 is a similar view showing the binding-strips applied. Fig. 3 is a viewof the face of a grooved blank before the binding-strips are applied.Fig.4is a view of the same after the strips have been applied. Fig. 5 isan enlarged detail view of part of the grooved blank in the flattenedstate. Fig. (3 is a similar view showing the blank bent up to form abox, parts broken out.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The pasteboard sheet A is creasedon its inner surface along the lines aa to facilitate bending it up to form a box. Edge-binding strips B arepasted on the edges of the sheet A, and strips O are pasted on the outersurface of the blank along the lines of the creases a a to form theangle-bindings for the box formed by bending up the blank.

In case the pasteboard is thick the anglebinding strips C are apt to beruptured by bending up the blank to form the box, and to avoid thisgrooves b are cut into the outer surface of the pasteboard sheet alongthe lines of the creases, and the angle-binding strips are pasted to theouter surface of the sheet along the sides of the grooves,only thelongitudinal central parts of the strips being raised to form hollowridges over the grooves. When the blank is bent up, the said hollowridges are stretched as shown in Fig. 6 and finish off the angles, andthe strips are not ruptured.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a blank forpasteboard boxes, consisting of a creased sheet of pasteboardprovided'on the outer surface of the sheet and along the lines of thecreases with angle-binding strips pasted thereon and edge-binding stripspast-ed on they THEODOR REMUS.
